At Marine Frontiers, we pride ourselves in being the first and the largest manufacturers of Aluminium vessels in India. Aluminium, as defined by SOLAS
( Safety Of Life At Sea) standards, is non-flammable and non-combustible. Because of this, aluminium vessels can be made to comply with
new, stricter I.M.O ( International Maritime Organization) commercial boat rules that are nevertheless appropriate for all oceangoing vessels.

Aluminium combines light weight, high strength, easy workability / pliability, and
affordable
cost in one package. A comparison between vessels made of deferent material demonstrates
the benefits that Aluminium offers :

A proper weld in Aluminium is at least as strong as the metal it joins, so an aluminium yacht,
including frames, stringers, gussets, bulkheads, deck, and all the other endless pieces, becomes
essentially a one-piece structure. Being the most exible of alloys, aluminium yachts can be.
